It's still not definite which CD comes after Nebulae, but it will almost certainly be either the A Produce & Loren Nerell collaboration Intangible, or Steve Brand's Avatara.

I have already previewed cover art for both of these (with a disclaimer that neither was final -- and the art for Intangible was an early concept and likely to change) so here I'll show the older version and more current version of each. Note that neither of these is definitely final, but these are much less likely to change very much than the old versions.

It's good to see these releases upcoming. Your cover art is beautiful as usual. The Avatara cover is great. If I might venture a suggestion, the sun disk logo seems too large, and is competing in a distracting way with the eyeball in the center of the image. The older version seems more arresting in general as well. Just a thought...

I think the older version of Intangible is also more expressive of the title...

The sun disk logo will probably change, in location and/or size -- I just slapped it into InDesign without resizing the default size, just giving Steve an idea how his logo graphic would work with a black background.

Thank you, Mike, for all updates and cover art versions. I am ready too!!! Personally, I prefer more old version of "Intangible", as 9dragons said, it fits better the title. About "Avatara" I am not decided which one to prefer... Nebulae's cover art is perfect. Anyway, I hope the new releases will be as much beautiful as Herion's "Out and About".

I can't wait to hear this collaboration between Nerell an A Produce. I've beenfollowing them both for over a year now and I'm sure they've got something great going on. I saw Nerell live at the SoundQuestFest last October and theguy puts on an excellent show. Again, can't wait to hear what comes out of this.

We probably won't do pre-orders, at least not any time soon. I used to do that, in the old days of Hypnos, and ran into trouble with a CD that I thought would be released by a certain date, but ended up quite delayed.

Also, we end paying more for postage than what we charge customers, so arranging things so that we have to send a customer their already-released items now, and send another package with the pre-order items later, would just increase that postage loss.

We'll make up for this by offering a similar "first week deal" like what we did with Intangible. That worked really well, and as a result the month of Intangible's release was our best month in at least 6-7 years.
